Example 64 PoE port allocation by class

To allocate by class for ports 6 to 8:

(HP_Switch_name#) int 6-8 PoE-allocate-by class

Manually configuring PoE power levels

You can specify a power level (in watts) allocated for a port by using the value option. This is

the maximum amount of power that will be delivered.

1. To configure a port by value, first set the PoE allocation by entering the poe-allocate-by

value command:

HP Switch(config) # int A6 poe-allocate-by value

or in interface context:

HP Switch(eth-A6) # poe-allocate-by value

2. Then select a value:

HP Switch(config) # int A6 poe-value 15

or in interface context:

HP Switch(eth-A6) # poe-value 15

3. To view the settings, enter the show power-over-ethernet command, shown below.

If you set the PoE maximum value to less than what the PD requires, a fault occurs, as shown in

Figure Figure 39 (page 112).
